Have you ever been rained on while waiting for the school bus? Have you ever been rained on while waiting in a long line? Well the Zarrut Hut has helped many people, including myself to stay dry and stay cool (in all ways!) It's a simple, portable hut that originated from the Indian tribe of the Narragansett. It helped them continue to travel when the weather was bad, and also protected them from wild animals. Today, it helps with many modern forms of shelter and protection. Good luck, and have fun!

Steps

1

Go your local hardware store and purchase lots of bamboo wood. (some stores do not carry this type of wood, but this is essential to making the Zarrut Hut)

2

You'll also need to buy a sturdy, helpful bottle of glue, and believe it or not, banana peels (you can just buy bananas and eat them, then save the peels).

3

You need to have some sort of backpack or carrying device to hold the hut above you as you move, so purchase one.

4

Start building. Once you have these items, the building can begin. Since bamboo wood is flexible and can bend and turn, place some in the backpack or carrying device. Then glue it down.

5

Once that is done, you must stretch the wood so that it prolongs above your head and a little bit further.

6

This is where the banana peels come in. You must wipe the goo from the peels onto the wood to sturdy up the protection.

7

Once comfortably placed, bent, and goo-covered, use some more of the bamboo wood to connect the "roof" to the backpack traps, to ensure that the hut will stay over you.

8

Test it out! Go out in the rain or even give yourself a simulation test with a hose.

9

If it doesn't work, re-read the steps to making the Zarrut Hut and check your supplies. Then re-build and keep trying!

10

When it finally works, spend the rest of your days outside dry and stylish!

Tips

If you are looking for a good hardware store, Home Depot is not one of the best for this job. Some may carry the necessary items, but not many do. Try more of a building hardware store, and less of a housing hardware store.

If you are allergic to bananas (so you cant use the banana peels to sturdy the protection), mango skin will also work.

Warnings

You must make sure that the bamboo wood that you are using is correctly placed, or it could, in fact, snap back and injure some, including yourself.

Make sure none of your friends are allergic to the protection goo that you use. If they are, it can be extremely dangerous
